HOW TO PLAY

Start here.

YOU’LL NEEDOne rubber or tennis ball and a solid wall
  1. 1Everyone starts with zero strikes. One player starts with the ball.
  2. 2Throw the ball straight at the wall. It must hit the wall before it hits the ground.
  3. 3After the ball hits the wall, it can bounce as many times as needed. Anyone may catch it. The catcher throws next.
  4. 4You mess up if your throw hits the ground first or misses the wall. You also mess up if you try to catch the ball, touch it, and drop it.
  5. 5If you mess up, run and touch the wall. Everyone else races for the ball and tries to throw it straight at the wall. Only a throw that reaches the wall before touching the ground counts.
  6. 6Touch the wall before the ball and you are clear. If the ball hits the wall first, you get one strike. Three strikes and you are out. The last player wins.

REMIX THE RULES

Complete twists.

Timed low scoreBefore the first throw, set a ten-minute timer. Nobody gets eliminated, and each lost wall race adds one strike. When time ends, the player with the fewest strikes wins. If there is a tie, reset the tied players to zero strikes and play three-strikes-out until one remains.
Hardcore wall penaltyMark a throwing line before the game. After a player gets a strike, they face the wall with their back turned. Another player gets one throw from the line at their back. Hit or miss, the penalty round ends and play restarts with the person holding the ball. Three strikes still knocks a player out.
